QUIET SONG

 Classic Wit / Wheat Beer 4.3%

Gentle stone fruit zest, full pillowy texture leading to cherry and citrus notes mingling with light pepper and spice

 

Quiet Song entered Duration’s core range on 4th July with a special founder-led first pour joined by a national roll out across bottle shops and bars #HereForIndieBeer. Read press coverage of Quiet Song here.

 

 

There are just 12 notes between any octave, then the octave repeats. All any artist can offer this world is how they see those 12 notes. That’s it. Having something to say and a way to say it so that people listen is why we are here. This classic wit sings quietly to an audience often looking the other way. You may not need this song year-round, but you’ll miss it when it’s gone.

Gentle stone fruit and zesty aromas, full pillowy soft texture leads to cherry and citrus notes mingling with light pepper and spice. A light bubblegum lingering sweetness from the yeast esters
